poetry in government
I think we need more poets in government. I’ve been trying to read a number of government documents lately and use of English is rather poor, to say the least.
The Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs sponsors something called the Darwin Initiative. It involves giving grants to small conservation projects around the world, which is quite a nice thing to do. Whilst looking at their uninformative, but rather pretty, website I found a page briefly describing a project to protect rhinos in Kenya. The page is entitled, “Building capacity for conservation of a critically endangered flagship species”. Need I say more?
